Omega Speedmaster... On ASTP, a total of 11 Speedmaster chronographs were flown. Each NASA astronaut took two Speedmaster 321 models and the cosmonauts wore Speedmaster 861 models. Leonov wore three! |

During ASTP, no other watches were flown. A record number of 11 Speedmaster chronographs, that was it. |
